I am a senior wanting to ride for fitness, trips to the grocery store, around town carrying light camera gear for nature shots is the bike 4 me?

Probably not. Only because it is a single gear bike, which makes it harder to actually get a good workout on it . But it is very lightweight and is easy to peddle. I love mine.

Definitely. If you are riding for fitness the singlespeed will give you a workout. As I am new to riding I can say that this is the first bicycle I havebeen on that has actually made riding comfortable and fun.

Its hard to say. If you are planning on riding fixed gear, then expect there to be a learning curve. If you plan on just using the single speed/free gear, then you would probably be just fine. If you are unsure if fixed gear is for you, then I recommend to do a bit more research before buying. All that being said, I love my PureFix bicycle.

I agree with previous answers. There are city type cruiser bikes that are more comfortable and stable, especially if you're going to be carrying camera gear.

I wouldn't recommend this bike to be used as a fitness bike. In my opinion (not professional) i don't thank that it would be safe for anyone over the age of 60. The wheels are very thin and can be a bit challenging to balance it you plan on carrying some extra gear on your bike. Although this is an Excellent bike for commuting to grocery stores and riding around town. My mother is 65 years old and she loves to bike ride. She attempted to ride my pure fix bike, but fail at doing so. She told me that the saddle and The handlebar are far apart watch makes it uncomfortable for her back. She actually have a hard time getting on and off the bike due to the straight bar (non Dutch) style. I wouldn't recommend this bike to be used as a fitness bike.

I don't think so. I bought one for my son and he is in first year college. It is fine for nom as he is an athletic baseball player. There is only one gear and you cannot coast. Brakes seem to be optional. I tried and it was not my cup of tea. The fixed gear seems to be similar to tenth gear on a mountain bike so going up any sort of a hill is a lot of work. My wife has a three speed cruiser style bike also from Amazon and I think that would be much more comfortable for the uses you have in mind.

Probably the best thing you can do is go to your local bike shop and get their advice

yes. this is a great looking, good quality bike to ride. its a road bike, so I would say you would get the best performance on a bike path. don't ride this bike on bike trails or bumpy road.

Umm okay when I get back to my place k if this helps I have a mountain bike but I will check k

Sure. The bike is really sturdy. I would recommend raising the height in the seat to accomodate your longer legs (I am 5'7, so you will definately need the extra height) and to be honest, I took off the water bottle holder after I nailed my knee into it one too many times getting on and off...but I love this bike and use it constantly...also it doesn't take up as much room as my treadmill does. You will probably love the resistance settings too. Good luck!

I own this bike and i'm obsessed with it. That being said, I commute around the Greater NYCArea CONSTANTLY. I went over the Brooklyn bridge (pretty inclined) the other day and found it to be very difficult (being a one speed bike). If you know you will be dealing with hills frequently I'd say to go with the speeds... but otherwise this bike is extremely portable, eye catching (compliments at least once a day), and convenient. Good luck on your decision.

Sorry, no, but there is quite a variety of 3 wheeled adult size bikes available out there these days

You should be okay! You can adjust your seat to the lowest position and still be able to cycle to the fullest.

yes, the GoPro Hero3 Silver edition is perfect. You might need to buy some extra accessories to attached it to the bike.

It's enough for 'Me'. It really depends on where a persons fitness level is. Specifying that you like a LOT of resistance, 'you' may want more, to be on the safe side. But again, 8 is a lot of resistance on this bike.

Yes, it can be; keep in mind that you do have three wheels, so you don't want to take this everywhere you can take a mountain bike. The only other thing I would recommend would be possibly upgrading the tires, if you plan on going through rougher terrain.

Yes! I'm a big girl- and it's perfect. You can go on their website to get this bike- heartlandamerica.com Good luck!

All I wanted was something simple to ride, not a lot of gadgets. This bike has been great for me. I have it in my living room, ride my 5 miles a day while watching tv. It is quiet so it does not disturb my husband while he watches. It tells me all I want to know...how far I went. It does have other things it monitors but all I want to know is about my mileage. Another thing, my grandchildren love it and ride it every time they are here. p.s. I am 67 and plan to ride it along time, I am very satisfied with it.
